'Cornerstone' aren't just about anti-EU, although it is certainly a big part of their platform. From their website.......
We believe in – the spiritual values which have informed British institutions, our culture and our nation’s sense of identity for centuries, underpinned by the belief...
Greenpeace? To be fair, what the fuck has it got to do with them?
To be honest, your "yes" list is hardly more inspiring than your "no" list, even if I happen to be more politically aligned with more of them.
If you believe that to be "ultra-left", your politicalcompass is even more compromised than you've previously indicated.
How does it do that, exactly?
You've extrapolated an awful lot of nonsense from your attempt to represent a comment about increasing state welfare as a "dismissal of the...
It's just looking at it through a different axis. My problem is the Y axis in this chart isn't very clear, does he mean by innate that people are naturally rather than socially constructed? How does this fit in with the idea of Natural rights or Law?
I think age tends to move people along an imaginary third axis on the politicalcompass ranging from radical change to security. Longterm responsibility for the welfare of others, beit children, elderly parents or someone else- rather blunts the zeal for upheaval, as does contemplation of the...
Gordon Brown VS. Condoleezza Rice so post-Blair U.S. concern
Gordon Brown VS. Condoleezza Rice
The impudence of this man Brown answering back to Condi!
How dare Brown harangue Condi when Condi was doing such a fine job as regards American policy on aid, development and Africa...
yeah, i believe you are right, but until something is done it is going to continue to be an open festering wound, it will probably have to be done without British government involvement and more than likely without the involvement of sinn fein and the provosas they have an awful lot of skeletons...
Problem is that even if you convinced the players on both sides of the borders, and from all political points of the compass to participate, you can be sure that one player in the game would never agree to do so, and that's the British state. In terms of dirty dealings they've so much more...
What makes you think that the all-powerful "system" have deliberately left this gaping hole in their legal systems, such that anyone can opt out of paying their share, simply by saying "I'm a freeman" or by writing their names in lower case, or standing up or sitting down at key moments in...
...and stand on my own 2 feet. Taking responsibility for myself and my own actions. Wow, I'm soooooo right wing!!! (why is it that when ever I do a politicalcompass thing, I always end up left of Ghandi and the Dhali Lama, have I gone too left and ended up in the right wing campus? I don't...
While I'm sure that is true, there's also research that shows that people who are culturally/politically individualistic are more likely to give to and volunteer for charitable causes, GIVEN that these causes are value-congruent with the person showing altruistic behaviour (REF). In other words...
So you see no reason why a Screw, who was a former Trotskyite political activist, might wish to engage in post-event rationalisation of his somewhat less than glorious role in the Hunger Strike saga?
What did you do in the war Daddy?
There is a lot of truth in that. former H/S Richard O Rawe's book 'Blanketmen' exposes the kind of pressure the H/S were under from the outside leadership, indeed he claims that lives of many of the H/S would have been saved it if weren't for the IRA leadership playing hardball with the UK Gov.
'The fact that they made that choice believing that Thatcher had even a grain of compassion, and that he wouldn't make political capital from their deaths was an error, mind you.'
however brave, I imagine the issue was very complex: I once spent a few hours with a Screw who had worked in the...
Well, ultimately they did make the choice to commit to their cause strongly enough that they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for it.
The fact that they made that choice believing that Thatcher had even a grain of compassion, and that he wouldn't make political capital from their...
Nothing gone wrong or even went wrong, for in 1904 and since, we have never promised anything just made a basic proposal based on an analysis of capitalism and the solution of socialism. The case for socialism is a proposal for change to be enacted by the working class not the SPGB. In this...
